Should be called dumb meters. Being rather silly I ignore the advice

spent enough time, and am now sick of it. Can I just ignore it (it is
failing at the moment). Alternatively can I have it removed?

In what way is it failing? The installers usually go away again when
they discover that there is no networks signal at the electricity meter,
but that doesn't stop them mithering you incessantly. Targets must be
met to avoid penalties even if the kit being fitted doesn't work!

In theory of course you need never look at it as it will inform your
supplier about your usage.

You could ask Eon if they would be willing to replace it with a dumb
meter. There would almost certainly be a charge.

Changing your supplier to any other will usually have that effect.
